Down High came out on top in this thoroughly entertaining game on Saturday morning at Roughfort between two well matched sides.

It looked, in the opening exchanges that this game would be a comfortable win for the home side as BRA’s Callum Savage crashed over after four minutes.

However, the visitors took the lead at the start of the second quarter with Rodrey Phillips finding the line for Ross Graham to convert to give Down High a 5 – 7 lead.

The visitors got on top for the remainder of the half and a late penalty from Graham saw BRA chasing a five point deficit with the score at 5 – 10 as the teams changes ends.

    Thanks for all your match reports & photos.

    I appreciate if you could amend the report to show that it was Josh Manson that had came on as a Sub to score the 2nd BRA try.
